« Putting a jacket that states « I don’t care, do you? » on the first lady while she is visiting traumatized and abused children at the border is the equivalent of waving a steak in a cage full of lions and acting confused when it gets devoured.” Liz Plank

Today’s visit w the children in Texas impacted @flotus greatly. If media would spend their time & energy on her actions & efforts to help kids – rather than speculate & focus on her wardrobe – we could get so much accomplished on behalf of children. #SheCares #ItsJustAJacket

TONIGHT: the President of the United States, @realDonaldTrump, sits down to discuss his thoughts about international relationships, immigration, and much much more! Skip the #FakeNews and watch the Huckabee show tonight at 8/7c! https://t.co/A2G15dLX9E

“This administration is smarter than we think they are.”

Pour Liz Plank, la manière dont Trump utilise l’indignation des médias est extrêmement bien calculée, et la seule manière de continuer à pouvoir faire son boulot et justement “de ne pas regarder là où Trump vous dit de regarder, ou d’utiliser le wording qu’il veut imposer” “Melania’s coat is not committing human rights abuses at the border, Donald Trump is. That’s the story that matters, and any other story is a distraction and a deflection. (…) The Melania jacket is a pristine example of an attempt to control what the media does and then create a backlash against it.”

TRUMP on Kim Jong Un (note the final two sentences): « He’s the head of a country, and I mean he’s the strong head. Don’t let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same. » (via FOX) https://t.co/ed9AMRl9ny

Et la journaliste de conclure: “The only way for journalists to learn more about how to be a good reporter in 2018 is by looking at the way the media operates in authoritarian regimes, because it’s overtly clear that we are living in one.”
